Redevelop Selenium Toner

For those who wish to mix their own selenium toner, I have included Dassonville T-55 Direct Selenium Toner, Dassonville T-56 Bleach and Redevelop Selenium Toner, and Flemish Toner (Formulas Toners Selenium Toners). The latter two are both bleach-and-redevelop selenium toners. The advantage to mixing your own is that it is possible to obtain colors not possible with the commercial products. The disadvantage is that selenium in powder form is highly toxic and all three formulas require heating to dissolve the selenium powder which poses the further risk of inhaling fumes. Only mix selenium toner in a well-ventilated area or outdoors and wear a face mask rated for hazardous chemicals.

HCA should be used after selenium toning and before washing. HCA is unnecessary after other toners unless re-fixing is indicated (for example, Nelson Gold Toner partial redevelopment/ toning, etc.).
